After Liang Yi left Xuntian Dao Zhang, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This was because his cultivation was already above the threshold, and he only needed a few things to reach the upper realm. Thus, he could understand the hidden meaning in Daoist Wan Ming's words. If he wanted to advance, he had to study the principles. If he didn't understand the principles, his path would be blocked.
Here, he couldn't follow others. He had to know what his own path was. Otherwise, even if he reached the upper realm, he could only follow behind others.
He had his own understanding of this. Recently, he had been flipping through Daoist books. After all, he was also a disciple of Xuan Zun. There were some things he understood.
However, he thought that if he wanted to study the principles, wouldn't Xuanxiu be the same as True Cultivation?
One had to know that Xuanxiu had many responsibilities. The first was to cooperate with the military to resist internal and external enemies.
Due to the receding of the Turbid Tide, the inner land had begun to recover. All kinds of plants, insects, and beasts began to emerge. Some of the upper continents were no longer barren. Instead, they were covered in greenery. However, at the same time, all kinds of mystical creatures and monsters were brought along.
Every upper continent was very large. However, on the surface, they looked like islands surrounded by a vast ocean. They had to face the impact of waves. Moreover, the outer regions were always lacking in manpower.
Now that Xuntian Dao Zhang had appeared, the various continents needed Xuanxiu's help in all aspects. Even some of the disciples who had sensed the Great Dao Chapter had taken on the responsibility of liaison.
Thus, in the long run, most Xuanxiu didn't have enough time and energy to study the Dao. They lacked the desire to do so.
However, he felt that there was a way to make up for this.
That was to observe.
Or rather, to see the true spirit used by True Cultivation.
After Zhang Yu was captured, he couldn't find the path ahead. For a period of time, he thought that creation could help Xuan Fa break through. It wasn't until Zhang Yu's achievements and Xuntian Dao Zhang's appearance that he completely abandoned this idea.
But because of those days of contact, he also had a certain degree of understanding of creation.
If this thing existed, it would be very helpful for Xuanxiu to study Taoist books in the early stages and save a certain amount of time. Moreover, this kind of thing was actually a part of the master. The master could eliminate it with a single thought. Therefore, as long as the source was legitimate, it was actually quite safe.
However, this was just a thought. He didn't know if it was correct. He felt that he could only find the answer when he reached the Upper Realm.
After thinking about it, he once again immersed himself in meditation.
In Dongting Xuanfu, Zhang Yu's incarnation stood in the middle of the Star Platform, looking at the huge tree in front of him. On the sturdy trunk, there were luxuriant and dense branches and leaves, and there were soft spots of light twining around them. This was the manifestation of the unusual condensation of the mysterious power.
During this period of time when he was guarding the prefecture, he didn't sit still. Instead, he sent his incarnation to collect the broken branches of the Tree of God. As he constantly pieced them together, the Tree of God grew bigger and bigger. In fact, most of it actually fell in the middle layer, and only a small part was exposed outside.
It was a pity that the roots of the tree were now unknown. Otherwise, it would be more complete.
At this moment, between the branches and leaves, there were many shiny and plump fruits hanging down, each of which contained a vast amount of vitality.
In the past, when the Ipar found this Tree of God, it stripped its original consciousness and turned it into a vessel for its own race. They entrusted their memories and lives to the Tree of God. Every Ipar that died accidentally could borrow the fruit of the Tree of God to grow again.
In a sense, this could be considered a type of parasitism.
After he gained control of the Tree of God, he naturally didn't need the Tree of God to carry these things. However, he could use the Tree of God to recreate a race according to his will, and it could be a race with mysterious power. It could also not be a race, but different forms of life that could reproduce on their own.
However, because the Tree of God was incomplete, it naturally couldn't be a powerful EsGod like the Ipar. At most, it could only be a low-level cultivator.
He thought for a moment, then transmitted his will. A moment later, one of the fruits began to glow. It swayed for a moment, then suddenly fell to the ground. The ground cracked open, and a phoenix with gorgeous, colorful feathers emerged. Its phoenix eyes were arrogant, and its crown floated in the air. Its tail feathers were like rainbows.
After this phoenix came out, it intimately leaned towards him.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and brushed his sleeve over its wings. In an instant, a brilliant light shone. This was the divine power in its body that had been activated.
This phoenix let out a clanging sound and bowed three times to him. Then, it flapped its wings and flew to the top of a branch. Rays of mysterious spiritual light shone down from its tail feathers.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and knew that this phoenix had built a nest here. When it came down, it could use the protection of the Tree of God to reproduce. At the same time, it would also protect the Tree of God. However, the Star Platform was high and far away. It was also surrounded by a large formation, so no foreign creatures could destroy this place.
This phoenix was just an experiment he made, and it could be considered as a decoration for the originally empty Star Platform.
The fruit of the Tree of God was actually not very useful to him, but he could use it as a reward.
For example, he could give a fruit of the Tree of God to those who had made enough contributions in the Dongting Prefecture, allowing them to obtain an intelligent creature that was completely created by their own will.
After some consideration, he summoned a jade book and flipped through it to see which junior disciple had made more contributions recently. However, after looking through it, he was somewhat surprised. The one who had made the most contributions was Yan Yuming.
He looked up and ordered, "Qinghe, go and summon Yu Ming here." Li Qinghe, who was waiting outside, responded and immediately went to pass on the order.
Not long after, Li Qinghe said outside, "Sir, Yan Yuming is here."
Zhang Yu said, "Let him come up on stage."
After a while, Yan Yuming walked in, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Teacher."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "No need for formalities." He looked up slightly and said, "Yu Ming, have you seen that big tree? You can pick a fruit from it."
"Fruit?"
Yan Yuming glanced at it. He had been to the Star Platform before, and it was not his first time seeing this big tree. He could feel that this tree was extraordinary. 'My Heart Imitation Teacher asked me to pick a fruit. Could this be some kind of spiritual fruit? Eating it can improve one's cultivation? '
He walked to the bottom of the tree with his imagination running wild. Immediately, he felt an extremely gentle and mystical power surge into his body. His heart stirred, and he tried to communicate with it. As a thought surged into his mind, he immediately knew what this fruit was.
His eyes lit up. After some thought, he walked closer and reached out to press on the big tree. After a while, a bright light surged from the surface of one of the divine tree fruits. Then, it swayed and fell from the tree.
He did not wait for this fruit to fall to the ground. He released his heart light to catch it, and then hugged it. Immediately, he heard what seemed to be the sound of a heartbeat inside the fruit. He chuckled and used his heart light to hold it to the side. He himself came in front of Zhang Yu and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Teacher, for your bestowment."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He did not ask what kind of living being Yan Yuming had created. He said, "This is a reward for your recent contributions. You may leave. Go back and cultivate well."
Yan Yuming said excitedly, "Yes, Teacher." After he bowed, he left with incomparable joy.
Zhang Yu waited for him to leave. Then, he turned around and released the restrictions outside the Xuanfu.
After waiting for a while, a ray of light shone over and landed on the Star Platform. Daoist Zhan Kong walked out from it. He bowed to him and said, "Zhang Shouzheng, greetings."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting and said, "Zhan Kong, greetings. What brings you here?"
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "I was entrusted by Xuanting to investigate some matters. This matter is somewhat related to Zhang Shouzheng. Therefore, I came directly to Shouzheng."
He took out a decree and handed it to Zhang Yu. "Shouzheng, please take a look."
Zhang Yu took it and read it. His eyes moved slightly. It said that Xuanting had recently refined a new instrument. It could observe the inside and outside. Although this instrument was not as good as the Clear Sky Astrolabe, it still had a certain use. Therefore, on the day it was refined, it performed an inspection of the inner layer.
However, with this inspection, there was a discovery. In the past, a Shouzheng from the Shouzheng Palace had mysteriously disappeared. When Xuanting was about to search for him, a muddy tide came. In order to protect the continents and fight against foreign enemies, Xuanting did not have the time to search for him. Therefore, there was no result.
However, this time, he seemed to have found this person's aura. However, it disappeared immediately.
He looked up and asked, "Dongting?"
Daoist Zhan Kong nodded and said, "Judging from the location of the aura, it is in Dongting. However, this instrument was recently refined, so there are still some flaws in it. It is difficult to confirm whether it is correct. Lin Tingzhi speculated that it might be the aura left by this Shouzheng. If it is revealed now, it is also possible.
But no matter what, since there is a discovery, we must investigate it thoroughly. Therefore, I am here to discuss with Zhang Shouzheng. Let's try to search together. "
Zhang Yu understood. Because Xuanting was not sure about this matter, he did not want to make a big fuss. However, he knew that Zhang Yu was in closed-door training recently. Therefore, he asked Zhan Kong, who was still free, to come here and investigate.
He felt that this was indeed necessary. In the past, a Xuan Zun had mysteriously disappeared. It was already very strange. Moreover, he suddenly appeared at this time. It was not necessarily a coincidence. People could not help but suspect that this was related to Shangchen.
He said, "Does Guanzhi know this Shouzheng?"
Daoist Zhan Kong said, "I guess you can say that I know him. His mana and cultivation are only average, but his seniority is not low. It's just that he doesn't have good relationships with others. I heard that he even had conflicts with some Daoist friends and had his cultivation reduced. Even though he has made many contributions, he has been the Guardian ever since Tianxia entered the world.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since this happened in the territory of Dongting, I cannot ignore it. I will transform into a shadow and investigate this matter with Guanzhi."
